SANTA Rosa, CAL, February ll.-This
morning Sheriff Colgan received tele.
gram from Sheriff Harris of Napa, stat.
ing that horse had been stolen from
near Calistoga and that the murderer of
Mrs. Lyons was escaping on him. 1t is

on some vessel and escape to place Of
safety. To do this he will have to pass
through the county at some point near
Healdsburg. A Deputy Sheriff and
posse armed with Winchester rifles,
Immediately started on horseback
oward Calistoga. A little later another
posse was organized and went in differ.
ent dire ection. A telephone message was
received at 3 o'clock from St. Helena
stating that murderer "Pete" had been
seen there at o'clock, that he had left

of Windsor. Sheriff Colgan has tele-
graphed and telephoned complete

One More Step Taken.

All interested in the benevolent work
of the city will rejoice with the ladies of
the Flower Festival Society in the
knowledge that the completion of their
beautiful and comfortable "Boarding
Home." which will be formally opened
March lst. makes it possible for them to
receive and care for aged homeless wom-
ell of limited means as well as the young
workers, for whose comfort and safety
the "Home" was originally designed.
There is, perhaps, no more significant
or hopeful fact in the history of current
events than the complete organization of
benevolent work; everywhere the obi.
cation to provide for those who cannot
provide for themselves is accepted with
out question and prompt action taken
to secure the best results from the means
expended, by careful systemization.
But all who have entered this depart
ment OF the worlds work, know well
that at best they are only able to relie We
the advance guard of that vast army,
"the needy"
The phenomenal rapidity of the growth
of our city has made the work of
philanthropists of almost appalling mag.
nitude and exigence, but nobly gener.
GUS response has bsen made to all claims
and the sequence in the development of
plans has been noteworthy.
First. the benevolent society, carin g
for the needy of every class and condi-
tion; next, the orphans home and free
kindergartens, then the Flower Festival
Society, throwing the safeguards of a
real home around young girls while they
seek to earn living amid the snares of
a crowded city. Thus, step by step. the
most pressing wants have been met and
supplied, but meanwhile ON every hand
| other wants and woes were outcrying
for relief. The benevolent society is
saddened by appeals to which they can.
not respond. The board of managers of
the orphans home find many children
in worse condition than orphans, half
orphans and abandoned children. The
Flower tival Society have listened to
applications so varied as to have been
amusing if they hadnot been so pathetic.
No appeal has touched more deeply than
that made so frequently for aged women.
But the limited capacity OF the home
has always presented an effectual bar
rier to any plans for their relief. Now
the ladies can enjoy the privilege of
shelterlng some, bowed beneath the
weight of years and sorrows, whose
means are too meager to secure the same
degree of comfort in any other way.
This ARRANGEMENT. temporary though
it must be. and limited in extent, will
be real relief till permanent and more
extended provision can be made for this
GLASS.
By order of the Board of Managers.

Burned at Council Bluffs.
COUNCIL BLUFFS. Ia, February 21.--
The large and complete training stable
of the Naples property of Messrs. John
7. Stewart & Son, which consisted of
eleven large box stalls, the sleeping and
reading rooms of the employees, grain
bins, saddle and furniture rooms and a
large enclosed exercise walk for prizes,
located at the track of the Council
Bluffs Association, was burned Sunday
night. There were eleven horses
in training. All of these except
ing Gypsy Baron, formerly Tact
screek, and Serenader, were burned
to death, besides the yearling colt Inco,
by imp. Pzzaro, out of Iliabo; imp.
Mortimer, saddle horse and all other
racing furniture. Most Of the employees
clothing, the books, etc., used at the
night school established by these gentle
men for the benefit of the laborers in
their employ, were also totally lost. 1t
is difficult to estimate the amount, but
it will probably be from $4,000 to
$50. 900, partially insured. The origin
of the fire is unknown.

AMERICAN CLAIMS
Caused ny Fires iu Aspinwall I'm
1885 TO be Adjusted.

WASHINGTON. February 2l.-The
President to-day sent to the House the
response of the Secretary of State in re.
ply to resolution inquiring as to the
action taken by the Department of State
TO protect the interests of American citi.
zens whose property was destroyed by
the fire caused by insurgents at Aspin.
wall in 1855. The Secretary says that
negotiations were commenced in October
last, and are now pending, between the
United States and Colombia for the
establishment of an international com.
mission, to whom may be referred fer
adjustment the claims of citizens of the
United States against the government Of
Colombia, growing out of these insurrec.
tions, but it is not deemed compatible
with the public interest to communicate
to Congress, in the present state of the
negotiations, the correspondence be-
tween the Department and the govern.
ment OF Colombia respecting the pend.
ing convention.

STONES AND BRICKS

Found ON n Roof Cause a Blood.
Curdling Theory.
BosToN.. February 2l.-On the corner
of kneeland and Federal streets stands
four.story brick residence block con-
tanning hundreds of inmates of the low.
est class. Narrow stairs run from both
streets to the roof. furnishing opportu.
mites for ingress and egress that have
often baffled the police. On the top of
this building, arranged in heaps just in.
side of shallow wooden cornice, was
found by the police miscellaneous as
sortment of bricks and paving stones.
1t is thought they were to be used for
an attack upon cars which pass the
building. The possibilities of an attack
of this nature are simply horrible to
contemplate. A shower of bricks de.
scending from this height on crowded
horse cars under the cloak of darkness
would have been murderous in the re.
suit. With slight possibility of trac-
ing the perpetrators the South Boston
road was at once notified, and SO the
cars were taken off each night, despite
public inconvenience, and police were
stationed in the vicinity.

POLITICAL PRESUMPTION
who will be the New Members
of the Washington Cabinet.

VINO Will DC the NEW WE fGMDeIo
of the Washington Cabinet.
NEwY YORK, February 2l.-The Stars
Washington correspondent telegraphs
that there is no longer any doubt here
that Carlisle is to be Secretary of the
Treasury. 1t is also thought to be
settled that Pendleton is going into the
Cabinet, and that Garland is going out.
There does not seem to be as much
certainty as to Colonel Lamont, but it
is the general opinion that he will be
made Postmaster.G General. He has won.
derful executive abilities anddgreat skill
in dealing with men.
With the members of the Lower
House the speakership is becoming
pressing question. Randall's candidacy
will be stoutly resisted by the Revenue
reformers. If Carlisle is not in the next
House the absence of Morrison will be
great loss to the reformers. Hatch, of
Missouri, and Mills, of Texas, are talked
of as candidatesfor the speakership. Both
being ex.C .Confederates the question will
arise whether that will make the men
unavailable for the speakership. The
belief is that the party can now safely
rest upon the assumption that the war
is ended and the country at peace.
The chances for the appointment of
Assistant Secretary of the Treasury
Fairchild to be Mr.. Manning's suc-
cessor are stated to be very remote. He
is at present entirely out Of the list of
poss BILE selections for this high position.
Manning's influence with the admins
tration seems to have melted away.
1t is currently reported here that Man
ning's mental condition is deplorable,
and that his resignation, notwithstand
ing the correspondence between himself
and President Cleveland, was virtually
forced. The best informed politicians
take no stock in the rumor that either
Pendleton or Carlisle will be Manning's
successor, and boom for Smith Weed,
of New York, is being worked up.

Good Squirrel Poison.

A correspondent from Downey sends
the following: Take small potatoes, cut
each one into in the middle, take each
half and cut a thin slice nearly clean
across the cut end, leaving just enough
to make hinge. Raise the top care
fully so as not to break it off, and dig
out hole underneath it as big as a
hazel nut; fill this hole nearly full with
pulverized cyanide of potash; press the
top slice down over it; put out near the
squirrel holes. The potash dissolves
aud permeates the potato. Try it.

what Time and climate will Do

One hundred and fifty.tive years ago,
on the 22d of February, the village gos-
sips of that little parish in Westmore'
land county, Virginia, who were so
eager to spread the news OF the birth OF
a SON in the Washington family, would
have received with incredulity the
prophecy that in 1887 there would exist
such beautiful place as Alhambra. in
the then bowling wilderness of Califor'
MIA, and that the people of this veritable
Paradise would celebrate the birth OF
Virginia's son. =,
Participants in the excursion to AL
hambra to-day will realize how hard it
would have been to make our forefathers
